Corvette Akrapovic Exhaust

The Corvette Z06 and ZR1 are the top performance vehicles in the Corvette family. Akrapovic has chosen to make an exhaust for just these two high performance Corvettes. Akrapovic offers an exhaust system that comes in two basic styles, the EVO which is a full catback system and the Slip On which is an axle back system (only difference between the Slip On and the EVO, is the EVO has the X Pipe and the Slip On does not, but can be added later). Both Akrapovic Corvette systems comes in either Stainless Steel or Titanium. The Titanium gives you significant weight savings over the Stainless and is for the pure performance enthusiast. Both the Ti and SS exhaust look and perform identical. You also have you choice of gorgeous 115mm carbon fiber or titanium tips. Take a look below at the systems Akrapovic offers for the ZR1 and Z06 Corvettes. If you are looking for the absolute best, Akrapovic is the system of choice for Corvette owners. All emissions laws are still met with Akrapovic systems and no tuning is needed.

So you have spent over $1,000 upgrading your exhaust on your new car and it sounds great and you could not be happier. Until you walk behind your car and see your once shiny exhaust tips covered in soot and road grime. So you wipe them off and a week later they look just as bad as they did before. So this time you throw some wax on them, but that caused them to yellow and trap more dirt. You need a special polish for your exhaust tips that not only cleans the dirt off but seals them so they stay looking great. Our premium stainless steel polishing kit does just that. Our kit includes 2 large professional grade buffing compound sticks to bring back the shine on even the worse looking exhaust tips. A 4" buffing wheel to make cleaning your exhaust tips quick and easy. 2 special cloths for cleaning your exhaust tips at home and one to take along to shows to get your car ready for judging. And unlike other polishing kits, we also include a bottle of Simichrome Polish. Simichrome Polish puts a show winning shine on your exhaust tips and seals them so that they do not get stained like they used to anymore. We also include a set of photo detailed instructions to make cleaning your exhaust tips quick and easy.
Our basic kit includes:
4” High-Quality Mushroom Buff w/ drill adapter
2 Special buffing compounds designed to take stainless steel to the next level
A supply of Simichrome polish, the best polish hands down (cost $13 alone)

Detailed Photo Instructions
Our Super Deluxe kits include:

Don't think that this kit is only good for polishing exhaust tips.This kit will also allow you to polish any uncoated metal and even dull plastics. So now you can clean and maintain the stainless and chrome trim on your classic cars and the plastic trim on your daily driver as well.
Our kit includes enough polishing compound to last for years.

Akrapovic Stainless Steel Slip-On Performance Exhaust for the 2006-2013 C6 Z06 and ZR1 Corvette
Note-> In 2012 GM Changed the X pipe design on the Corvette. The Akrapovic EVO System (comes with X pipe) will not fit on the 2012 Corvette. The Slip-On (axle-back system without X pipe) will bolt up without issue. This is is the Axleback Slip-on System and IS compatible with the 2012+ Corvette Z06 and ZR1.
This Axle-Back Akrapovic Exhaust for the C6 Corvette provides unmatched exhaust benefits. Akrapovic has become world-renowned for their extreme high-end exhaust products which deliver the very best performance and tonal benefits for every vehicle they're manufactured for. Designed with optimal engineering in mind and manufactured from the highest quality Stainless Steel materials, Akrapovic exhausts give you the top of the line exhaust benefits possible. Of course, with the very best quality comes a higher price, but Akrapovic always delivers to give the customer a quality comparable to what they pay for. With an Akrapovic exhaust, every dollar spent goes into giving the driver the ultimate top-end performance exhaust piece.
The famous Z06, a high-performance version of the actual Corvette, is at the same level with Super sports cars as Porsche GT2, Nissan GT-R, and Lamborghini Gallardo. The big 7.0 l engine, with huge power and gigantic torque, delivers an incredible performance, which will make finding an equal rival on the road really hard. With the Akrapovic aftermarket Slip-On exhaust system, made of titanium or stainless steel, optionally equipped with an exhaust valve remote control, the Z06 will now transform into a pure Beast. Additional HP and torque are a given but the sound will make you feel like you are racing the GT1 Corvette. The four huge 125 mm titanium or carbon fiber tail pipes offer a visual image of what is hiding under the car.
The Akrapovic Slip-On exhaust system for Z06 was optimized in many ways to meet the requirements of our engineers. The EVO Cat-Back Exhaust system delivers additional power of 13.5 HP and additional torque of 28.2, from mid- to high rpm. The throttle response is much sharper now, which improves agility. However, the most significant change is the sound. Lovers of the pure V8 race engine sound must have an Akrapovic exhaust system. For those who want to take their first steps in tuning the Z06 the Slip-On system (rear mufflers and 4 titanium or carbon fiber tail pipes) is right exhaust.
Slip-On system:
- titanium or stainless steel end mufflers
- 4 titanium or carbon fiber tail pipes
Hard facts:
- plus 13.5 HP (at 3.460 rpm)
- plus 28.2 Nm (at 3.350 rpm)
This exhaust also offers full support for the Corvette Multi-Mode function. Actuators from the stock exhaust will need to be used with the Akrapovic exhaust, but this is an easily done switch. Once installed, the Akrapovic bi-modal functions will be comparable to the stock system, and will also function with Mild to Wild switches, and other bi-modal exhaust devices.
Here are some additional pictures to tempt you a little more.

During Installation, before tips are installed
Here are a couple other items that are really popular with customers who purchase the Akrapovic Corvette exhaust.
First is the Billy Boat C6 Corvette Z06 Headers. Headers are not needed at all with the Akrapovic exhaust and with everything OEM and the Akrapovic System you will still be emission friendly and will retain your Cats. If Headers are something you might want, check out the Billy Boat Z06 Headers are the only Corvette Headers that allow you to use you the Akrapovic X pipe or stock H pipe without any modifications. You will lose your catalytic converters as they come off with the stock OEM Headers (all one piece). If you live in an area that does not mandate cats, the B&B headers are the perfect compliment to the Akrapovic system and they are on sale to help make the decision easy.
Another complimentary item that goes with the tips of the Akrapovic Exhaust is the APR Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser (see below). Really looks awesome with the Carbon or Titanium Akrapovic tips.
Application: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 C6 Corvette Z06, ZR1

Slip-On (Axle Back) Exhaust System in Titanium
The very top of the line in Corvette exhaust! For the C7 Corvette owner that demands the absolute best quality, best sound, and best materials. The Akrapovic exhaust systems are made from the finest materials on Earth - titanium. Why titanium? Many reasons; weight is less than the standard run of the mill stainless steel, titanium is also resistant to rust and weather and it's also capable of producing better overall sound out of your Corvette.
Southern Car Parts has long been the leader in Corvette Akrapovic exhaust systems. We have extensive knowledge and extensive experience in not only selling these top of the line systems, but we have also installed and run them in our Corvettes for over seven years. When you give us a call and have a question about purchasing an Akrapovic system you can rest assured you'll get a real answer and an honest answer that we'll stand behind.
The Akrapovič Titanium Slip-On Line system is the first and best steps in exhaust tuning. Crafted from high-grade titanium, which considerably reduces the weight in comparison to the stock system, it has been perfectly designed to fit directly onto the existing link pipes. The system increases power, provides better throttle response, and improves torque, and also conjures up an amazing sound from the naturally-aspirated V8 engine. The Slip-On Line system has four valves, designed for the first pair to operate in four-cylinder mode and the second set to come into action according to the driver’s specifications. The system is developed to be compatible with the car’s drive mode selector, and Akrapovič engineers have developed an electronic device to drive the exhaust valves for each mode—Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track—giving the driver an even greater opportunity to enjoy the sound of the Akrapovič Slip-On Line across the whole spectrum of the car’s performance. It’s topped off by four large-diameter carbon fiber tailpipes with titanium inners, to make the Slip-On clearly recognizable as an exhaust that means business.
If the Akrapovič Slip-On system replaces the GM NPP exhaust system, the Slip-On Line maintains the valve regulation of the NPP system.
If the C7 Corvette is not equipped with a GM Performance exhaust (NPP exhaust), then the Control Kit (P-HF886) and Valve Actuator Kit (P-HF868) are mandatory. For C7 Corvette s with a Performance Exhaust (NPP exhaust), neither the Control Kit (P-HF886) nor the Valve Actuator Kit (P-HF868) is needed.

The Akrapovič Evolution Line system takes exhaust tuning to the next level. Featuring mufflers and link-pipes made from high-grade titanium to dramatically reduce the overall weight, the system provides more power, lowers back pressure, enhances throttle response, and increases torque. With four valves, the first pair operates in four-cylinder mode and the second set comes into action following the driver’s specifications. With an electronic device developed by Akrapovič engineers for the five standard GM modes—Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track—the system is perfectly matched to operate with the car’s drive mode selector. This produces an even greater range of options for the driver to fully experience the amazing sound of the car. The Evolution Line system, with a new X-pipe, provides even greater performance compared to the Slip-On Line system, and provides a pure race-note soundtrack for this stunning engine, with the enhanced sound characteristics of the V8 configuration and without any drone—just pure enjoyment. Four large-diameter carbon fibre tailpipes with titanium inners complete the appearance of the Evolution Line perfectly, making it stand out as something special.
If the Akrapovič Evolution Line system replaces the GM NPP exhaust system, the Evolution Line maintains the valve regulation of the NPP system.
